Brews on the Bay 2018

Description

Soak up the salty air, sunshine and spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the city and bay of San Francisco all while enjoying local craft beer on a WWII ship at one of the most memorable and unique festivals in the world.
BREWS ON THE BAY returns Saturday, October 13, for its 15th year on the S.S. Jeremiah O’Brien, an historic World War II merchant marine ship docked at Pier 45.
Produced by the San Francisco Brewers Guild, this event is one of the Bay Area's most intimate beer festivals -- one the brewers themselves look forward to.
Local brewers will be out in force, serving unlimited pours of their latest and greatest IPAs, farmhouse ales, session beers, barrel-aged sours, imperial stouts, and many other beer styles, with over 70 beers set to flow.

This is our 15th year aboard the S.S. Jeremiah O’Brien, an historic landmark from the World War II Merchant Marine era ship, and appropriately, a portion of festival proceeds benefits the National Liberty Ship Memorial. This 2018 installment of Brews on the Bay will be our best yet, so we hope you can join us!
